I was reminded of carrom too, it's super popular in India. kind of like a cross between crokinole and snooker or pool; you need to get your pieces into pockets using a striker, and avoid getting your opponent's pieces in. physically, one big factor is that you're flicking a heavy striker into a much lighter disc.
